In my phase 1 Austin Seven driving in the Fifties, all clutches had little movement on the pedal and were not progressive. Now in phase 2 of Austin seven ownership my experience is as follows 1935 roadster - usual clutch operation, feather touch required. Sports car - nice progressive clutch - almost like a normal car. Current RN - not much travel but progressive.
It was about eight years ago I had to remove the engine /gearbox of the sports car for a cracked crankcase and wet clutch lining, I can't rember seeing anything different in the clutch assembly, so why did it work so well. We replace the worn levers in the pressure plate but I wonder about wear in the pressure plate?
